' AMERICAN FLAG
IS CENTURY OLD;
HOW ITWAS MADE
'Old Glory" Today Is Waving
Over Shell-Torn Battlefields
of Zurope in Greatest
-War in History.
Vasiiington, April 4. Today -the
American flag is wavirig over the shell
pitted battlefields of Europe, carried
side by side with the colors of France,
Great Britain, Belgium and, other na
tions allied in the great-war for free
dom and democracy.
At home probably 10,000.000 Amer
ican flags are waving serenely in the
varied breezes of our spacious land,
significant of the calm and dignified,
yet deep and lasting patriotism of the
people of the United States.
Be this our native land or adopted
country, we pledge allegiance to that
flag, uncover as we pass and wear it
in miniature as a token of our loyalty.
: And yet how many Americans are
sufficiently well acquainted with the
origin and history of Old Glory to be
able to". recall that today is the cen
tennial anniversary of the adoption
of the American flag in its present
form the flag consisting of 13 hori
zontal stripes of alternate red and
white, representing the 1j original
states, with a white , star in a blue
field for each state of the union.
.The Colonial Flags.
Naturally there were many forms
,o early flags, 1 especially colonial
tj'pes used by the individual colonies
and militia regiments before the flag
of the United States was established
by the continental congress on June
14, 1777. This act required that the
flag of the United States be of 13
alternate red and white stripes, and
that the union be 13 white stars on a
blue field, representing a new constel
lation, iut it did not design how many
points the stars should have, how they
should be arranged nor make provi
sion for additional ones.
The men who carved the nation
from the chaos of political strife did
not foresee the possibilities of 48
commonwealths when they designed
the flag. All the empire their minds
could then compass was hedged about
by the territory of other nations. So
when new states began to appear
Washington asked a new stripe and
a new star be added for each new
comer. JJy 1818, when territorial expansion
was proceeding on r. stupendous scale,
it, was' seen that the flag was about
to become an unlovely, cumbersome
affair, for it then had 20 stars and 20
stripes, so congress enacted a law
that gave tis the flag of today 13
stripes for the original colonies, and
stars arranged in parallel lines on the
union, one for each state as it was ad
mitted. The War department deter
mines the order in which the stars are
to be placed, and the revised flag
comes into official use the 4th of July
following the admission of. the state
bringing the star. v
: - Start for the States.
Many styles and forms o the stars
and stripes flag were in existence up
to 1842, and it was not until Presi
dent Taft's administration that def
finite specifications were drawn . up.
October ?9, 1912, an executive order
concerning the flag was made and it
provided for the specific arrangement
of the stars. They were to;be ar
ranged in six horizontal rows of
eight stars each. Starting in the up
per left hand corner and placing each
row from left to right, the star cor
responding to each state is named in
the order of the states' ratification of
the constitution.
The following list shows at a glance
vhich state is represented by each
star:
